Dandruff can put you in an embarrassing situation. The worst part is that dandruff can affect more than just your scalp, your face and body are equally prone to damages caused by dandruff. A fungus known as Malassezia is responsible for dandruff. The winter season is said to be the most suitable for it to grow. Here’s how to use neem in order to get rid of dandruff for shiny hair. 

Neem and curd - A combination of neem and curd is the ideal way to curb dandruff. Apart from treating your hairs for dandruff, curd has the added benefits of softening and strengthening your hair cuticles. Make a paste of neem leaves, add it to a bowl of curd and apply all over your scalp. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse. 

Neem hair mask - A neem hair mask is the easiest remedy for dandruff. All you have to do is take some neem leaves, grind them in the mixer and add a tablespoon of honey to it. Apply this thick paste all over the scalp like a hair mask and allow it to stay for 20 minutes. Wash it when it is suitably dry and watch the wonders it does to your scalp.

Neem oil – This can be prepared at home easily by adding a few neem leaves to coconut oil and bringing it to a boil and finally adding a few drops of lemon to it. The best way is to rub this oil gently on your scalp, leave it on overnight and then wash it off in the morning.

Neem shampoo – It is the easiest solution for all dandruff problems. All you have to do is get the neem-based shampoo from the nearest grocery store. Apply and wash your hair 2-3 times per week. 

Neem as a conditioner - The versatility of neem is that you can use it pre or post-hair wash and it will still be immensely effective. To make this neem conditioner, take a few neem leaves and boil them, allowing them to cool down. After shampooing your hair, rinse the hair with this mixture of neem and see the miracle.
